Houston Audio Society - October 18th Meeting

The next meeting is at my house on Saturday, October 18th, starting at 2:00 PM. Our presenter is John Busch of Manzanita Audio Solutions. John will be demonstrating his passive open baffle speakers with a KT-88 tube amp.

Thanks, Fred, I'm bringing a disc apiece from 2 female singers- Shirley Horn and Gail Pettis. The former is well known amongst jazz vocal enthusiasts and the latter is a new and very young miss from Seattle on a Seattle based label. Both are fine recordings of the art.

Fred, those speakers I heard on your upstairs landing . . please tell me the make and model (again). And, were you kidding about the cable? Tell me where to get the material, what it is and the jacks and how to weave a set if you weren't.

All, the speakers I am referring to are very articulate in their sound and imaging. Hopefully, Fred will see this post and tell us the make and model. They could go deeper to my ears but not at the expense of a loss in linearity. They rolled off very smoothly rather than try for too much and they would fit in my room like a glove. Fred was running them with a Krell IA. Nice, nice, and very nice.

Those open back speakers featured by Maestro Busch were notably good on the big band recordings he played. Nice guy, too.
